Love & Choices

A special friend of mine inspired me to write this poem about love and choices:

A million stars shooting by,
which one will you take?
which one is at stake?
whom might you make cry?

The sky's a market,
what to buy?
what to try?
You're the shopping rocket.

The quota is one.
You're greedy; you want more
but you might make a star fall.
Do you take all who come?

It's a game.
You seek to gain.
Losing what you already have will be a shame.

~a.c.
